yesterday's band prac was pretty productive. :D i managed to tune like one million times. and i played almost everything on time. gotta work harder on my da pacem. and now, sandra playing an octave lower for the section solo so i have to play louder. i really hope my tone will improve like one million times. :D anyway. i wanna list down what other things i have to do before SYF.

1. make sure section plays together especially during COMBINES :D
2. perfect all my running notes. even them out. and play together with all the other sections
3. work on bar 19, the soft parts. especially tunning.
4. work on bar 20, tune with sandra and mavis. [IMPT]
5. perfect crescendo at bars 3 and 9 of da pacem domine.
6. FEEL IT, SENSE IT.

from the phantom of the opera. my field of inspiration for syf :D
Night-time sharpens,
heightens each sensation . . .
Darkness stirs and
wakes imagination . . .
Silently the senses
abandon their defences . . .
Slowly, gently
night unfurls its splendour . . .
Grasp it, sense it -
tremulous and tender . . .
Turn your face away
from the garish light of day,
turn your thoughts away
from cold, unfeeling light -
and listen to
the music of the night . . .
Close your eyes
and surrender to your
darkest dreams!
Purge your thoughts
of the life
you knew before!
Close your eyes,let your spirit
start to soar!
And you'll live
as you've never
lived before . . .
Softly, deftly,
music shall surround you . . .
Feel it, hear it,
closing in around you . . .
Open up your mind,
let your fantasies unwind,
in this darkness which
you know you cannot fight -
the darkness of
the music of the night . . .
Let your mind
start a journey through a
strange new world!
Leave all thoughts
of the world
you knew before!
Let your soul
Take you where you
long to be !
Only then
can you belong
to me . . .
Floating, falling,
sweet intoxication!
Touch me, trust me
savour each sensation!
Let the dream begin,
let your darker side give in
to the power of the music that I write -
the power of the music of the night . . .

love this song man. :D i really hope i really play the syf piece will feeling and everything. in fact i hope every body will :D
